However, as the saying goes: if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. Just when Qin Tianxiao went home for the New Year, his stall was recorded by a group of petty thieves and ruffians nearby.

This gang of thieves found out that Qin Tianxiao had returned to his hometown and there was no one in the store. On the fourth night after he left the shop (on the 30th day of the lunar month), he climbed over the wall and entered his shop.

The thieves jumped over the wall and window into his shop, ransacked all the valuable things in his shop, and fled.

After hearing that the store had been stolen, Qin Tianxiao couldn't help but feel anxious. On the one hand, he hurriedly rushed to the store to check all the lost items, and on the other hand, he hurriedly reported the matter to the government.

Then he asked people everywhere to find out the whereabouts of the thieves.

However, at that time, the society was in troubled times. On the one hand, the palace had to deal with the peasant movement all over the country, and on the other hand, it had to deal with the Red Army in Kiangsi. For his small case, he didn't pay attention to it. It's just under his repeated urgings. In a perfunctory prevarication. When the matter was over, the matter was pushed aside.

Therefore, although he asked the government many times about this matter, the matter did not come to any avail, and the matter slowly ended like this.

However, it is fortunate that when Qin Tianxiao temporarily returned to his hometown, he brought all the money in the store back to his home. The thieves stole some gold and silver jewelry, as well as borrowed items. It did not hurt the Qin family's muscles and bones.

What's even more fortunate is that the pair of jade bracelets worn by Qin Yunan were also worn on the hands of Qin Tianxiao and his wife Wang Caiyu at that time. It was very fortunate that he escaped the catastrophe and was fortunately preserved. In the end, it reached Qin Yunan's hands.

After seeing that the store was ransacked, Qin Tianxiao was anxious, and while packing up the things in the store that had not been looted, and preparing to reopen, he reported the case to the government.

However, because it was the New Year season at that time, government departments at all levels were on holiday. In addition, the society at that time was in troubled times. On the one hand, the government was busy dealing with the revolution of the Red Army, and on the other hand, it had to quell the bandits. He doesn't care about some major cases, and there is time to interrogate his kind of case!

Therefore, for his case, almost no attention was paid. Things were slowly put on the ground, and there was no news of them. When the matter came to an end, it was settled.

Since Qin Tianxiao's shop was stolen by thieves, the Qin family's foundation began to slowly go downhill - the middle way has declined.

After Qin Tianxiao's shop was stolen, his heart was greatly stimulated. Since then, he has suffered from anxiety. After less than two years, he died with hatred.

Less than two years after Qin Tianxiao's death, his wife Wang Caiyu was also depressed. Less than two years later, his wife also passed away.

Since Qin Tianxiao and his wife died one after another, his third son, Qin Liangyu, continued to take over his father's career.

Qin Tianxiao had three wives in his life. Five sons and seven daughters. There is also an adopted son. and an illegitimate daughter.

His ex-wife's name is Zhang Guizhi. Her father used to be a ceremonial chamberlain in the Qing court. She is Qin Tianxiao's wife who has been married since childhood.

Qin Tianxiao's current wife is named Wang Caiyu. She is Qin Tianxiao's wife who has been in love since childhood during his study abroad. She is also the only one who accompanies him to the rest of his life.

Qin Tianxiao's third wife is a married woman. The two of them have never had actual names. She and Qin Tianxiao had a daughter illegally. This daughter has stayed with her ever since.

Qin Tianxiao's ex-wife used to be the daughter of an official. The two of them are doll relatives who have been ordered since childhood. It was only later, because he had always disagreed with the marriage, that his ex-wife was forced to remarry.

Since Qin Wanxuan was an official at that time, he had a wide range of contacts and friends.

Among the officials with whom he interacted was a household servant with whom he had a very close relationship. Therefore, the two of them also have nothing to talk about.

This Tobe squire has a daughter. He was 12 years old. And Qin Tianxiao was only 7 years old at the time. So, in a small talk between the two of them, he learned from Qin Wanxuan that his youngest son Qin Tianxiao had not yet been engaged. So, he climbed up to Qin Wanxuan's relatives.

Qin Wanxuan was very happy after learning that the official was kissing, and agreed to this family affair on the spot. Due to the young age of both children at that time. So the parents of both sides finally agreed: After Qin Tianxiao turned sixteen, the two would officially get married.

However, things did not work out as expected. In the year when Qin Tianxiao was ten years old, this household servant was arrested because of a corruption case. The family was sent to Ningguta.

Due to the age and relatively young age of his daughter at that time, this official left his daughter in the Qin family before she was sent to the army. and entrusted Qin Wanxuan to take care of his daughter.

Faced with his friend's request, Qin Wanxuan readily agreed to his friend's request. took his daughter back home, thinking that he would wait for his son Qin Tianxiao to grow up before marrying the two of them.

However, things are not what he thinks, Qin Tianxiao gradually grew up, began to think of private villas, and later drank some foreign ink, and studied abroad for a few years, saw some of the world, and was more open-minded.

During his study abroad, he met his current wife, Wang Caiyu. Since then, the two have been in love and privately engaged for life.

After learning that his son was in love outside, Qin Wanxuan couldn't help but be furious. began to block the marriage of the two of them. and shut him up at home.

However, at this time, Qin Tianxiao had already made up his heart and fell in love with his current wife Wang Caiyu. For this matter, the relationship between the father and son was very stiff for a while. In the end, Qin Tianxiao actually took his current wife and ran away from home.

The two of them, after running away from home, opened a stall shop in his hometown, Shangqiu County. Started a stall shop.

After a long time, Qin Wanxuan saw that his son Qin Tianxiao was already determined to live with his current wife. When he felt that he couldn't stand up to his son, he had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

Although Qin Wanxuan agreed to the marriage of his son Qin Tianxiao and Wang Caiyu. But he was a very affectionate man. I feel a little sorry for my friend. So, he regarded Qin Tianxiao's ex-wife Zhang Guizhi as a righteous daughter, gave her a rich dowry, and sent her to marry.

In this way, after Qin Tianxiao finally got rid of his ex-wife's marriage, he married his current wife Wang Caiyu.

After the two of them got married, they concentrated on opening a stall shop in Shangqiu County, Henan Province, and started business.

Since the store was stolen, Qin Tianxiao and his wife have been seriously affected by these blows. Later, both of them suffered from depression. After a few more years, both of them died.

Since the theft of the Qin family, the disciples of the Qin family, since then, have begun to decline.

Just before Qin Tianxiao's wife died, she passed the bracelet to her second son Qin Liangyu (Qin Yunan's grandfather) and his wife.

In this way, this pair of bracelets was passed on to Qin Yunan's grandfather, Qin Liangyu.

Since Qin Tianxiao and his wife passed away one after another, the second son of the two of them, Qin Liangyu (Qin Yunan's grandfather), inherited his father's business and began to continue to run the stall business.

Qin Liangyu is the third son of Qin Tianxiao. Above him there was a brother and a sister. There is also a brother. It is to raise someone else's child. This child is Qin Tianxiao's ex-wife, who is raising someone else's child.

It turned out that since Qin Tianxiao, on the order of his father, married his wife in the front room (the daughter of the servant of the ministry), his ex-wife has never given birth. In addition, Qin Tianxiao went abroad since he graduated from private affairs.

He was abroad, and in order to escape marriage, he stayed for three years. During this period, he only returned home once a year at the end of the year to reunite with his ex-wife for a few days. caused his ex-wife to stay alone in the empty house for a long time. After a long time, his ex-wife suffered from depression as a result. There are few words between weekdays.

Seeing his daughter-in-law, who had been alone in the empty room for a long time, and her spirit became a little depressed, Qin Wanxuan couldn't bear it. So, he asked someone to raise a child from outside. As an adopted son, he was passed on to Qin Tianxiao.

Therefore, Qin Liangyu is only Qin Tianxiao's third son.

Not only that, Qin Tianxiao is romantic by nature. While he was studying abroad. I once got infected with a married woman. And this married woman once gave birth to an illegitimate daughter to him. His illegitimate daughter has remained abroad since he returned to China.

Because Qin Liangyu has been smart and studious since he was a child. Therefore, it was very liked by Qin Tianxiao. Therefore, Qin Tianxiao and his wife left all the property to him.

So, after Qin Tianxiao and his wife both died, his second son Qin Liangyu inherited all his property.

However, the sky is unpredictable. Just after Qin Liangyu and his wife operated the store for a few years, an eight-year-long War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out.

As a result of the Kuomintang's policy of passive resistance to the war, the result was a gradual rout. Shanghai and Nanjing fell one after another.

Japanese imperialism burned, killed, looted, and committed the heinous crime of exterminating people.

In order to avoid the killing and escape of the Japanese gangster. Hundreds of thousands of refugees from Shandong, Henan and other places abandoned their homes and poured into the Guannai.

After seeing that the business could not continue, Qin Liangyu and his wife were forced to close the store. After selling some of the things in the store that could not be taken away, he took his wife and sons to other places to make a living.
